Pet Sounds: Public Art That Doesn't Bite, Just Purrs

Please DO touch! Greyson only likes art he can touch and lick.

I love the serendipitous nature of walking around New York City. A few days ago, a stroll that was supposed to take us from a restaurant to a furniture store, turned into an adventure where we discovered new stores, new fragrances and new art.

Just when Greyson was started to get tired from sitting in his stroller, we stumbled upon an interactive art installation called Pet Sounds by Charles Long in Madison Square Park. The sculptures that look like big blobs make sounds and music when you touch them. Fun!

I'd definitely recommend stopping by for a Pet Sounds break if you're in the area. Just remember that no living pets are allowed, though. Ha!

Pet the blob and enjoy the park and the view of the Empire State Building
